Egg color

[coachwife2004]

I'm wondering if my chickens are foraging around the yard for food everyday and I feed them laying feed, what color will the yolk be? I'm looking for the highly prized deep gold color of the free range eggs I just want to know how to get that?

Lots of nice green grass and bugs

Our yolks are SUPER dark in the summertime. And really tasty!

My hens have the lovely orange because I have a mobile coop and run setup so they get fresh ground every day which keeps the eggs nice and orange and also keeps the hens happy and healthy
